Have you tried the following ?

- Is the controller card working
- Is the cable OK
- Is the drive actually spinning (you probably be able to hear it)
- Is the HDD being detected by BIOS (most recent ones have auto-detect)
- Check parameters in BIOS
- Boot of a floppy, can you now switch to C:
- FDisk the drive, is the primary patition active
- Transfer system files to disk (sys c:) when on bootdisk

If all the above don't work, e-mail me.
